Spacecraft exploration
The greatest advances in the study of Venus were achieved through the use of robotic spacecraft. The first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of another planet and return data was the U.S. Mariner 2 in its flyby of Venus in 1962. Since then, Venus has been the target of more than 20 spacecraft missions.
Successful early Venus missions undertaken by the United States involved Mariner 2, Mariner 5 (1967), and Mariner 10 (1974). Each spacecraft made a single close flyby, providing successively improved scientific data in accord with concurrent advances in spacecraft and instrument technology. After visiting Venus, Mariner 10 went on to a successful series of flybys of Mercury. In 1978 the United States launched the Pioneer Venus mission, comprising two complementary spacecraft. The Orbiter went into orbit around the planet, while the Multiprobe released four entry probes—one large probe and three smaller ones—that were targeted to widely separated points in the Venusian atmosphere to collect data on atmospheric structure and composition. The Orbiter carried 17 scientific instruments, most of them focused on study of the planet's atmosphere, ionosphere, and interaction with the solar wind. Its radar altimeter provided the first high-quality map of Venus's surface topography. Pioneer Venus Orbiter was one of the longest-lived planetary spacecraft, returning data for more than 14 years.
Venus was also a major target of the Soviet Union's planetary exploration program during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, which achieved several spectacular successes. After an early sequence of failed missions, in 1967 Soviet scientists launched Venera 4, comprising a flyby spacecraft as well as a probe that entered the planet's atmosphere. Highlights of subsequent missions included the first successful soft landing on another planet (Venera 7 in 1970), the first images returned from the surface of another planet (Venera 9 and 10 landers in 1975), and the first spacecraft placed in orbit around Venus (Venera 9 and 10 orbiters).
In terms of the advances they provided in the global understanding of Venus, the most important Soviet missions were Veneras 15 and 16 in 1983. The twin orbiters carried the first radar systems flown to another planet that were capable of producing high-quality images of the surface. They produced a map of the northern quarter of Venus with a resolution of 1–2 km (0.6–1.2 miles), and many types of geologic features now known to exist on the planet were either discovered or first observed in detail in the Venera 15 and 16 data. Late the following year the Soviet Union launched two more spacecraft to Venus, Vegas 1 and 2. These delivered Venera-style landers and dropped off two balloons in the Venusian atmosphere, each of which survived for about two days and transmitted data from their float altitudes in the middle cloud layer. The Vega spacecraft themselves continued past Venus to conduct successful flybys of Halley's Comet in 1986.
In 1990, on its way to Jupiter, the U.S. Galileo spacecraft flew by Venus. Among its more notable observations were images at near-infrared wavelengths that viewed deep into the atmosphere and showed the highly variable opacity of the main cloud deck.
The most ambitious mission yet to Venus, the U.S. Magellan spacecraft, was launched in 1989 and the next year entered orbit around the planet, where it conducted observations until late 1994. Magellan carried a radar system capable of producing images with a resolution better than 100 metres (330 feet). Because the orbit was nearly polar, the spacecraft was able to view essentially all latitudes on the planet. On each orbit the radar system obtained an image strip about 20 km (12 miles) wide and typically more than 16,000 km (almost 10,000 miles) long, extending nearly from pole to pole. The image strips were assembled into mosaics, and high-quality radar images of about 98 percent of the planet were ultimately produced. Magellan also carried a radar altimeter system that measured the planet's surface topography as well as some properties of its surface materials. After the main radar objectives of the mission were completed, the spacecraft's orbit was modified slightly so that it passed repeatedly through the upper fringes of the Venusian atmosphere. The resulting drag on the spacecraft gradually removed energy from its orbit, turning an initially elliptical orbit into a low, circular one. This procedure, known as aerobraking, has since been used on other planetary missions to conserve large amounts of fuel by reducing the use of thrusters for orbital reshaping. From its new circular orbit, the Magellan spacecraft was able to make the first detailed map of Venus's gravitational field.
The U.S. Cassini-Huygens spacecraft flew by Venus twice, in 1998 and 1999, on the way to its primary target, Saturn. During its brief passages near Venus, Cassini failed to corroborate signs of the existence of lightning in the planet's atmosphere that had been observed by previous spacecraft. This suggested to some scientists that lightning on Venus is either rare or different from the lightning that occurs on Earth.
The European Space Agency's Venus Express, which was launched in 2005, entered into orbit around Venus the following year, becoming the first European spacecraft to visit the planet. Venus Express carried a camera, a visible-light and infrared imaging spectrometer, and other instruments to study Venus's magnetic field, plasma environment, atmosphere, and surface for a planned mission of more than two Venusian years. Among its early accomplishments was the return of the first images of cloud structures over the planet's south pole.

text: It's not socialization In reference to the Reader Forum author of "Welcome to the U.S.S.A." (March 23) calling my country the U.S.S.A., or to any Glen Beck-loving conspiracy theorist out there, let me explain the difference between socialized medicine in Canada, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world and the United States. In those countries, the government owns the doctors, the hospitals, the clinics, the imaging centers and the treatment centers as well as the only insurance company that provides coverage to each and every person in the country. The health care reform bill signed by President Obama does none of that. It does allow Americans with pre-existing conditions to not be denied coverage; it does allow children to stay on their parents' insurance policy until the age of 26; it does allow small businesses to join a pool for more buying power; it does allow you to keep the insurance you have, to see the doctor you have, and it does allow for the 46 million Americans without insurance to buy in with subsidized help if they need it. The top reason for bankruptcy in this country? Health bills. The top reason for mortgage failure in this county? Health bills. What Congress passed is health care reform. It is not health care takeover. Joseph P.Czubowicz, Linden Rewarding irresponsibility Did anyone else notice that the new health care reform is really just another welfare program? Didn't we just penalize the financially responsible by bailing out the irresponsible to the tune of $750 billion? Now we're saddling those who take great measures to stay healthy with another bailout nearing $1 trillion for those who burden the health care system with their poor lifestyle choices. Not that there aren't plenty of other things wrong with this so-called reform, but it just doesn't seem to pay to be responsible anymore. Richard Cialone, Basking Ridge Let's move on March 21 marked an historic moment when Congress passed the health care bill. To those who opposed its passage, guess what? The sky didn't fall. Get over it. Let's move on and deal with other issues. Henry Harsche, Bayonne Applauds the governor Bravo to Gov. Chris Christie as he stands up to the teachers and their unions. In New Jersey, unemployment hovers around 10 percent. Since December 2007, 228,300 jobs have been lost. So to ask teachers to freeze their pay for a year and contribute a mere 1.5 percent of their salary to their heath care benefit is a small request. It will help them keep their jobs and curb state spending. The teachers, while making a sacrifice, should be grateful they still have jobs and insurance. And of course we expect that our teachers will continue their level of professionalism. In these turbulent times when everyone is sacrificing, it's refreshing that Christie is challenging the teachers to step up to the plate. As the governor stands up to do the right thing I, too, stand and applaud the governor. Thomas Michaels Jr., East Hanover Praise for Google A few years ago, Google cravenly let China push it around. The company agreed to self-censor its search engine. More recently, though, Google deserves our praise: The company lifted all censorship, so anybody accessing Google in mainland China is routed to the company's Hong Kong-based and noncensored search site. I encourage more companies to display the profoundly moral behavior that Google just did by standing up to the tyrants in Beijing. Mark Kalinowski, Clifton Don't cut library funds We were very distressed to learn that Gov. Chris Christie's budget calls for a 74 percent decrease in funding for statewide library services. Once state funding is eliminated, New Jersey will lose $4.5 million in federal funding. This will have a devastating impact on New Jersey libraries. Libraries are busier than ever before. More than 170,000 people enter a New Jersey library every day. Libraries are used by New Jersey residents to file unemployment claims, apply for jobs, interact with government, expand job skills and participate in life-long learning opportunities. Libraries are community anchors. Library users depend on state-funded services to provide access to databases with critical information needed for school assignments, work and medical issues, and personal interests. State funds provide efficiency as well, giving every resident access to materials housed in other libraries via inter-library loan services. Library programs have been flat funded for 20 years. During that time, libraries have used the limited state funding to provide services to all residents of the state. The $10 million in library programs cut from the governor's budget represent little more than $1 per capita in state funds. It is critical that we do not eliminate statewide library programs. Strong libraries are critical for New Jersey to maintain its economic strength and quality of life for all its citizens, regardless of income or social status. We urge the legislature to restore library funding and oppose A2555. Carol and Gary Levin, Bedminster Affordable housing I have mixed reactions to the housing task force's recommendation that counties replace the state as the overseer of municipal affordable development ("Housing task force: Let counties rule on plans," March 24). The advantage is that such a system would reduce the endless tug-of-war between the state and its complex formula and the municipalities and their local issues. The disadvantage is that counties won't have much clout over municipalities that try to dodge reasonable housing contributions. The state could help by telling the counties what their population growth is expected to be and how much housing of various kinds they should project. Then it would be up to the counties to meet those countywide totals. Such a three-level system would be similar to the successful one used in California for the past 30 years. The Fair Housing Act and even COAH's own regulations assign an important role to the state's "regions," or groups of counties. Unfortunately, counties and regions have been pushed aside in the struggle with the municipalities. A state-county-municipality structure would bring back some of the balance of powers that the experts concerned with providing housing for all of the New Jersey's families considered necessary. Brock Haussamen, Bound Brook Waste of money The United State is $l4 trillion in debt. Cities are laying off policemen and firefighters. Hospitals and schools are closing and states are going bankrupt. Yet the State Department is spending $5.4 million dollars to redesign the crystal glassware and bowls for the U.S. embassies. Tea party? I'm forming a wine party. Jim Larkin, Point Pleasant

Hiroshi Aoyama.
Japanese rider Hiroshi Aoyama will be part of Avintia Blusens MotoGP Racing Team for the 2013 season and will participate in G.P. of Valencia
The Avintia Blusens MotoGP Racing Team has just confirmed that Hiroshi Aoyama will be incorporated to ride one of the CRT's of the Spanish team. The latest 250 c.c. class world champion and official Honda rider has already ridden for the top category in 2010 and 2011. It is a great incentive for Avintia Blusens to count on a world champion and a fast and aggressive rider such as the Japanese. The work developed by the team on the CRT throughout the season along with Aoyama's experience in MotoGP is very promising in terms of achieving positive results for both and being placed among the best CRT's. With the intention to bring forward the pre-season work and to be properly incorporated in the team Aoyama will participate in the last round of the year which will take place on 11 of November in Valencia.
Hiroshi Aoyama: "At first I want to say thank you to Avintia Blusens team because they give me the opportunity to come back to MotoGP championship, the series were I got my best results as a racer. Avintia Blusens worked hard this year to develop a new bike and they did a good job. I hope I can help them to continue the development of bike and team and that we can do good things together. I am excited to go back to action in this class and to try their crt machine. Also I want to thank Honda World Superbike Team for accepting my come back in Valencia even though I still have contract with them till end of season. I will try my best next year because the past years were not so good for me and I am really looking forward to go back to my best potential".

Flight from Kahului to Seattle
- Airline:
- Hawaiian
- Round Trip
- Number of Stops:
- 1 stop in Honolulu, Hawaii
- Date of Flight:
- April 2010
- Seat Class:

We love this flight. We travel to Seattle 3-4 times a year and love flying first class when can. Food and beverage service is great with much aloha from FAs. Would be better if they had newer first class seats with a little more legroom. Overall, a good experience and comparable to most dometic first class flights.

Five thoughts on Cowboys' loss to Redskins
NOV 22, 2012 6:50p ET
Here are my five thoughts on the game.
1.) It's time to stop waiting for this Cowboys team to put it all together, play a complete game and potentially get hot. That's not happening. They're done. Dropping to 5-6 on the season officially marks the end of their playoff chances in my book. Yes, they had a lot of injuries, but so did a lot of other teams, including the Redskins. It's baffling that they can't create any type of home field advantage. They're actually worse at Cowboys Stadium. How many quality teams can say that? Jerry Jones will put his spin on it, but when the cameras and tape recorders are turned off, I find it hard to believe he isn't talking about potentially going in another direction with the head coaching position.
2.) Why does it take so long to get the offense going at home? One of the characteristics of Jason Garrett's coaching tenure has been poor starts at home and, to no surprise, it continued Thursday. The Cowboys fell behind 28-3, marking the eighth consecutive time that has happened dating back to Nov. 13 of last year. This season alone, Dallas trailed 7-0 against Tampa Bay, 24-7 against Chicago, 23-0 against New York and 13-0 against Cleveland. The Cowboys fell behind 20-0 to Philadelphia, 5-0 to New York and 3-0 to Miami in their final three home games last season. How does that happen? Seriously. One would think they'd get lucky at least once and take an early lead.
3.) Blame Tony Romo all you want for his mistakes but, like I've said in my post game thoughts before, there are bigger problems. Romo threw for 441 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions and suffered his first home loss in the month of November. The Cowboys should sign him to an extension and focus on fixing this poor offensive line. With the emergence of Dez Bryant and a healthy DeMarco Murray, this offense could be very good over the next few years. I'm sure plenty of you will disagree with this. Feel free, I'm not changing my mind, Romo gets too much of the blame.
4.) Even the biggest of Dez Bryant detractors can't say much after another career day from the Cowboys' most athletically-gifted player. Less than a week after recording 12 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown, Bryant hauled in eight passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's loss. The Cowboys and their fans have been waiting for the light to go on for the 24-year-old former first-round pick and it apparently has. Not only did Bryant turn in gaudy numbers for the second consecutive game he has put together three straight outings with a TD catch and significant production in the second half. Bryant was one of the only bright spots in an overall ugly Cowboys performance.
5.) Joining Bryant on that list of positives is outside linebacker Anthony Spencer and defensive end Jason Hatcher. Robert Griffin III torched the Cowboys but it wasn't because of these two. Spencer recorded two sacks, giving him a career-high 6.5 this season. Spencer also led the Cowboys with 10 tackles. Hatcher's numbers weren't as impressive but he created pressure on several occasions. Obviously their efforts weren't enough, but they deserve some praise.

I've been playing games since the Atari 2600 and Colecovision and I've never looked back on the games that came out during any other generation and thought "man, this generation of systems pretty much sucked". With that controller was awesome :) mouse trap donkey kong jr and looping. I prefer colecovision over atari 2600 --- Sweet | |
Latebraker posted... The sooner we all accept that the Wii U will once again be underpowered, the less painful the eventual breakdown will be... I don't think anyone is suggesting the Wii U is more powerful than the PS4 and 720.

these topics usually end in massive embarrassment in darkjedilink's part. i dont even know why he bothers. | |
DiaperDandee posted... Why do people keep posting "specs" for the new consoles when nothing is known. Everyone posts rumors of what is in the next systems and it is constantly changing. So much this. The amount of inconsistencies with these things are astonishing. The only thing that changes faster than the specs are the people's opinions on them and what they think each unknown component (like eDRAM) will be. The way people will pick which parts they like is hilarious as well. They can believe everything 100%, except for key parts like 3GB dedicated for the OS - that just doesn't fly. | |

For weeks it was hahaha Wii U CPU is so slow when compared to PS3 and 360 now everyone suddenly things are different | |
Can we talk about these Jaguar cores? I don't know much about them. Deep or shallow pipelines? Cache architecture? Etc? If deep pipelines, those 8 cores will all be needed just to noticeably outperform PS360 potentially. If the architecture is more like the Wii U with shallow pipelines (this is what I'd assume) then things could get more interesting. Though most games don't even come close to fully utilizing 4 cores right now let alone 8, though that obviously can change. Figure a core each for sound and I/O perhaps (Wii U has dedicated hardware for each of those). So any Jaguar commentary from CPU experts? --- i5 2550k, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3@1600mhz, EVGA GTX 550ti, 120GB OCZ SSD, 22in/1680x1050 | |

32 CFR 728.52 - Veterans Administration beneficiaries (VAB).
Eligible beneficiaries—
Those who have served in the Armed Forces, have been separated under conditions other than dishonorable, and have been determined by the Veterans Administration (VA) to be eligible for care at VA expense. Prior to 7 September 1980, veterans status could be obtained by virtue of 1 day's honorable service. The following restrictions do not apply to individuals who are discharged from active duty because of a disability or who were discharged for reasons of "early out" or hardship program under 10 U.S.C. 1171 and 1173.
For individuals with an original enlistment in the military service after 7 September 1980, the law generally denies benefits, including medical care.
For individuals entering service after 16 October 1981, the law generally denies medical benefits when such individuals do not complete the shorter of:
Inpatient control—
Each VAB admitted will be required to conform to regulations governing the internal administration of the naval facility. Restrictive or punitive measures, including disciplinary action or denial of privileges, will conform as nearly as possible to VA instructions.
Resolution of problems—
All problems pertaining to VABs, including admission, medical or other records, and all correspondence will be matters of resolution between the commanding officer of the naval facility and the VA office of jurisdiction authorizing admission. Questions of policy and administration which cannot be so resolved will be forwarded, through the normal chain of command, to the Administrator of Veterans Affairs via COMNAVMEDCOM for resolution.
Inpatient care.
An eligible VAB may be admitted to a naval MTF on presentation of a written authorization for admission signed by an official of the VA office of jurisdiction. Neurological and certain neuropsychiatric patients without obvious evidence of psychosis and not requiring restraints, and instances of suspected tuberculosis, may be admitted for diagnosis. When diagnosed, promptly report instances of psychosis, psychoneurosis, and tuberculosis of present clinical significance to the VA office of jurisdiction with a request for transfer to a VA facility.
Extent of care.
Provide eligible VABs medical and surgical care, including prostheses such as eyes and limbs and appliances such as hearing aids, spectacles, or orthopedic appliances when required for the proper treatment of the condition upon which eligibility is based.
Disposition of emergency admission.
Notify the appropriate VA office of jurisdiction by message or other expeditious means within 72 hours after the date and hour of an emergency admission of a potential VAB. Include a request for an authorization for admission and emergency treatment. If VA denies VAB status to such a person admitted in an emergency, the provisions of § 728.81(a) are applicable. Once admitted in an emergency situation, discharage a VAB promptly upon termination of the emergency unless arrangements have been made with the VA office of jurisdiction:
Outpatient care.
Outpatient care, including post hospitalization outpatient care, may be provided upon authorization by the VA office of jurisdiction. When outpatient followup care is requested, commanding officers are responsible for determining whether capabilities and workload permit providing such care. In an emergency, provide necessary care.
Physical examinations.
Upon a determination by a naval MTF commanding officer that space, facilities, and capabilities exist, naval MTFs may provide physical examinations when requested by the VA for the purpose of adjudicating claims for VA physical disability compensation. If authorized by the VA, patients may be admitted when the examination requires more than 1 day.
Dental care.
Limit dental treatment to inpatients who require services adjunctive to medical or surgical conditions for which hospitalized.
Eligible beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries described in paragraph (a) of this section who are citizens of the United States and residing or sojourning abroad may, within the capabilities of the facility as determined by the commanding officer, be provided inpatient and outpatient care upon presentation of an authorization from the appropriate VA office of jurisdiction listed in paragraph (e)(3) of this section.
Emergency care.
Overseas naval MTFs furnishing emergency care to potential VABs will promptly notify the appropriate VA office of jurisdiction and request authorization for treatment and instructions for disposition of the patient.
Offices of jurisdiction.
The following activities are vested with responsibility for issuing authorizations for care and furnishing dispisition instructions for VABs in overseas naval MTFs:
Complete a VA 10-10 (Application for Medical Benefits) when potential VABs are admitted for emergency care without prior authorization.
Prepare a VA 10-10m (Medical Certificate and History) when care is rendered. All information required in the medical certificate thereon will be furnished whether the admission is subsequently approved or disapproved by the VA office of jurisdiction.
Since the completion of VA 10-10m requires an examination of patients, admissions which are disapproved will be reported as medical examinations on DD 7A, Report of Treatment Furnished Pay Patients, Outpatient Treatment Furnished (part B) (See subpart J).
Title 32 published on 2014-07-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 32 CFR Part 728.

Train fire
Officials seek answers to fire on idle locomotive in Newfields
The fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. in a utility compartment in the engine and caused extensive smoke and fire damage, Police Officer Guy Philbrook said.
"Our machinists and mechanical people are very talented and well-trained. They come in and inspect and will find out the cause," she said.
"It just engulfed the engineer's compartment from below," Philbrook said.
It's not uncommon for engines to be left running overnight. Scarano said locomotives don't have antifreeze in the diesel engines and that they have to stay running to keep them warm.
Firefighters cleared the scene shortly after 11 p.m.

ESS Crossbow Photochromic Ballistic Eyeshield - ESS Eyepro The ESS Crossbow Photochromic eyeshield are created using Transition Optics...
Twice each year, the Tactical Response Expo (TREXPO), in its East and West Coast versions, offers a showcase for the latest in equipment and services for tactical police operations.
March 22-25, hundreds of tactical officers from throughout the Southwest walked the aisles of TREXPO West in search of something to give their teams the edge in their next engagements.
Some of the show's most popular attractions were the next generation of police shooting simulators, including an impressive 360-degree simulator from VirTra Systems. Police will cover the latest advances in simulator technology in our June issue. So we have decided to reserve coverage of the simulators at TREXPO West until next month.
But simulators were not the only interesting products on display at TREXPO West. The following is a quick look at some of the newest and most innovative products on the show floor.
Heavy Wheels
Alpine Armoring had one of the more impressive exhibits on the show floor. The company displayed its line of armored police vehicles, including the Model FLT-800, the Bulldog 1, and the Bulldog 2. Each of these heavy-duty trucks is designed for transporting tactical teams into harm's way. But the top-of-the-line Bulldog can be modified to move a SWAT team into the 21st-century version of hell. The Bulldog 2 can be equipped with a complete chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive response package to augment its standard features, which include armor capable of stopping multiple AK-47 rounds.www.alpineco.com
Nail Stopper
For any cop who's ever stepped on a nail in the line of duty or who worries about nails and broken glass being used as booby traps, KP Industries' puncture-resistant orthotic could be a godsend. The Pro Safety Sole is a polyurethane foam insert for your boot, but with one important innovation, the bottom of this orthotic insert is a sheet of stainless steel that can protect your feet from nails, glass, and other common puncture and cut hazards. Anyone who dropped by the KP Industries' booth at TREXPO West could have been treated to the sight of one of the company's principles gleefully stepping on carpenter's nails to no ill effect.www.kpindustries.com
Electric Touch
One of the more intriguing products at TREXPO West was the Aegis MK63 Trident. A combination impact and electromuscular disruption weapon, the Trident is essentially a polymer baton with a business end that can zap a bad guy with 50,000 volts to stunning effect. It's a little heavy for a patrol belt, but the Trident offers some capabilities not found in other less-lethal devices. For example, it lets the bad guy know that you mean business. The Trident's stun tip arcs with a loud, mean crack, and through a patent-pending technology, it can do so for some time. That sound and the visual effect of the current dancing between the electrodes is likely to back down all but the most determined or stupid miscreants. www.aegispds.com

Ferrero won the first set, 7-5, before Bihhdan Ulihrach of the Czech Republic retired due to tendinitis in his wrist. Ferrero claimed the title last year when Russia's Marat Safin retired with a back injury.
Johansson, the Australian Open champion, breezed to a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Spain's Albert Costa,
Fourth-seeded Sebastian Grosjean of France posted a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Austria's Stefan Koubek and fifth seed Tim Henman of Britain had an even easier time against wild card Omar Bahrouzyan of the United Arab Emirates, 6-1, 6-0.
In other first-round matches, Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic defeated Frenchman Cedric Pioline, 6-3, 6-2; Spain's Alex Calatrava ousted Russia's Mikhail Youzhny, 6-3, 6-4; Sjeng Schalken of the Netherlands got by Frenchman Arnaud Clement, 6-3, 7-6 (7-1); and Germany's Rainer Schuettler rolled to a 6-3, 6-2 win over Tommy Robredo of Spain.

There are many online resources for looking up Chinese characters and words, so many that it might be very hard for new learners to find what they need. This article introduces 21 dictionaries and corpora for Chinese learners, including what they should be used for in addition to some pros and cons.
Creating a powerful toolkit: Individual characters
By Olle Linge On October 10, 2010 · 16 Comments · In Distinctively Chinese, Key study hacks, Reading, Vocabulary, Writing
Learning to read and write Chinese requires intimate knowledge not only of words, but also of individual characters. Without this knowledge, the building blocks of each word become meaningless, and, as we all know, learning something meaningful is always easier. Knowing individual characters is also essential if we want to be able to guess the meaning of new words, learn new words quickly or use mnemonics!

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A Democratic New Jersey lawmaker leading a state investigation into a traffic jam scandal that has ensnared Republican Gov. Chris Christie's administration says private email exchanges show a crime was committed.
Appearing Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," Assemblyman John Wisniewski says using a public resource such as the George Washington Bridge for political retribution violates federal and state laws.
Four people close to Christie lost their jobs after a top aide gave the go-ahead to shut lanes to the bridge. Lawmakers are investigating allegations that Christie loyalists intended to punish a Democratic mayor who didn't endorse him.
Christie has said he didn't know of any plot to close the lanes.
Wisniewski says it "strains credibility" that the hands-on governor wasn't told by senior advisers who received emails about the closings.

Rose Hill Estate – Aiken, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Aiken County Photos | Rose Hill Estate
Also known as the Phelps House, Rose Hill was built as part of Aiken's former Winter Colony, a luxe and expansive district where wealthy Northern families once stayed from late autumn through early spring. Aiken's mild climate was said to promote health and help prevent diseases such as tuberculosis, and its loamy soil made it an ideal place to raise horses. Together these characteristics attracted aristocratic clans like the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Whitneys. The equestrian legacy of these eighteenth-century scions continues to this day, and Aiken is now known as the "Thoroughbred Capital of the South," home to the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame.
Colonel Sheffield Phelps and his wife Claudia built their spacious 34-room home around 1898 on the foundations of an antebellum house which burned during the Civil War. The Shingle-Style Dutch Colonial manse is reminiscent of homes seen along the shores of New England, making it an usual design for the South. In fact, the Phelps family summered in Bar Harbor, Maine, where the style was popular. Though the home stood out among the Greek Revival mansions that more typically graced Aiken's Winter Colony, its formal gardens, designed by Mrs. Phelps herself, made it one of the most elegant estates in South Carolina. The house and gardens encompassed an entire block – 4.2 acres – and included stables, three greenhouses, a children's playhouse, and many rare and imported plants. The Rose Hill Red camellia, which Mrs. Phelps developed here, gave the estate its name.
Though her husband died in Aiken in 1902 of typhoid fever, Mrs. Phelps continued wintering here and held the first meeting of the Garden Club of South Carolina at Rose Hill in 1930. She owned the estate until her death in 1955. Later, the estate was used by a religious school and also by the art department of the University of South Carolina at Aiken. In 2002 it was purchased by a mother-and-son team who have turned the property into a popular inn and event venue, retaining the integrity of the estate envisioned and executed by Mrs. Phelps.
Rose Hill Estate is listed in the National Register as the Phelps House and says the following:
(Rose Hill) The Phelps House is a noteworthy example of the Shingle Style, frequently used in late nineteenth and early twentieth century resort homes for the wealthy, but relatively rare in South Carolina. The Phelps estate, which served as the location for the first meetings of the Garden Club of South Carolina, contains a formal landscaped garden. The elegant home and landscaped grounds are characteristic of many such estates owned by the wealthy in pre-income tax America. The Phelps House was built in the early 1900s on the foundations of an antebellum house destroyed during the Civil War.
Designed as a winter home, the two-story house has an exterior surface of wooden shingles broken by windows, gables and doorways trimmed in white. The house contains over twenty rooms. Entrance to the house is through a porte-cochere supported by Doric columns. Original owner of the house, Mrs. Sheffield Phelps, landscaped the grounds and formal gardens containing camellias, azaleas, hollies, and English boxwood. The Phelps family spent from November to May in Aiken and usually spent summers in Bar Harbor, Maine or Europe. Outbuildings include original stables, garage, kennels, three greenhouses, toolhouses, and a children's playhouse.

Best Quality Rug Pad (Solid-surface or Carpet)
Great product
We have purchased several of these pads; they are the best we have ever found.
November 20, 2014
Exactly as described
As I expect from Frontgate, this rug pad is of excellent quality. The rug has a much better feel to it with the pad placed beneath it. I was able to trim the extra length with house scissors, although it was difficult, due to the density of the material.
February 13, 2014
Rug Pad
Quality rug pad and got a great deal. The pad is thick but not as cushiony as I had hoped. Great if you're looking for a non-skid pad, but doesn't add a ton of comfort to the rug.
February 25, 2015
Good purchase
Carpet and pad arrived in shirt period from order date. Good quality for the price. We did have to trim this 6x9 pad to fit under the 6x9 carpet.

We have under floor heating and have had latex actually melt on to the wood floor. We have been forced to have the floor refinished and do not want to have the same problem again. We are considering your Tamil natural Fiber Rug but are concerned because of the latex backing so would like to purchase a pad that would protect the floor. Can you recommend?

LCA w/ ball joint
Is it possible to get new LCA w/ ball joint already installed from a reputable company? I know Moog seems to be a good aftermarket brand but was wondering if they even made these. It sounds like changing lower ball joints alone is a bear without the Incredible Hulk around.
Changing lower BJ's is actually not that bad. At all. A lot easier than the uppers I'd say. Just rent a puller from your local auto parts store and change them yourself. Soak everything the night before in liquid wrench then have at er the next day. I bet you'll have it done by lunch time if you started in the morning. Both my sides took less than 2 hrs. Just my .02
Do I need a press to put the new ones in? I used a puller for the tie rods after mangling a pickle fork. What a pain in the ass.
Moog ball joints don't need a press, just paint:
Left and Right: http://www.amazon.com/Moog-K90258-Fr...er+ball+joints http://www.amazon.com/Moog-K90259-Fr...er+ball+joints Get some zerk fittings too, they have the hole, just not fitting. |

Dobrev warns of gut-wrenching 'Vampire' finale
NEW YORK – "Vampire Diaries" fans note: Nina Dobrev warns of a "gut-wrenching" season finale in which "people will die."
The actress says she was as surprised as anyone the key plotline involving a "sun and moon curse" turned out to be a ruse for character Klaus, who's scheming to become a vampire/werewolf hybrid.
She acknowledges it "broke her heart" to find out that much of what was written the past two seasons was "a big joke." But she also thinks it was a clever move to make Klaus appear more diabolical.
Dobrev says she hasn't been told, but "it's assumed" she will eventually have to play a third character — the original to the two doppelgangers she currently plays.
The "Diaries" finale airs on /A\ on May 12.

Is PACE available in your state? Visit PaceNow.org to find out. View Larger
If you haven't heard about Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, it's a valuable resource you may be overlooking. Over the past few years, this new energy efficiency financing mechanism has swept across the U.S., with already more than half of the states approving legislation to enable it locally.
The PACE concept essentially involves financing energy efficiency projects via property tax assessments, which are repaid over longer periods than traditional credit-based loans. In simple terms, a project can be completely financed such that there is no initial capital expenditure. The loan is secured with a slight increase to the property tax payments.
Similar to performance contracting financing, the annual savings of the energy project are greater than the finance payments, so PACE is a cash flow neutral option for commercial properties. An exciting benefit of PACE is that it allows owners to take advantage of more capital-intensive projects with longer paybacks and greater overall savings. Because the repayment is tied to the property (and not the owner), PACE financing effectively reduces the vulnerability of traditional financing, which is primary influenced by the credit rating of the facility owner.
If the owner sells the property, the additional property tax obligation transfers with the property, but so do the energy savings (which are greater than the additional property taxes). Thus, after the retrofits, the improved property has a greater value.
Where is PACE Available?
Because state and local entities are involved, legislation to enable PACE financing has to be approved on a state basis. To see if PACE has been enabled in your map, see the map. The good news is that most states have already recognized the value in PACE and approved it. PACE represents a competitive advantage to the states that have enabled it, because businesses within those states have more ability to become cost-competitive via the positive cash flow from the energy efficiency projects.

American Gold Eagle
The American Gold Eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the United States. Authorized under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, it was first released by the United States Mint in 1986.
One Ounce of Gold
Many countries now issue a one ounce bullion coin to be sold at a very low premium over the intrinsic gold value. The American version is the Eagle.
Offered in 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz denominations, these coins are guaranteed by the U.S. government to contain the stated amount of actual gold weight in troy ounces. By law, the gold must come from sources in America, with an additional alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant coin of .9167 (22 karat, which had long been the crown gold English standard for gold coins, and before 1834, for American gold coins as well). It is authorized by the United States Congress and is backed by the United States Mint for weight and content.
The obverse design features a rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building in the left background. The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.
Krugerrands versus Eagles
Because krugerrands were the first one ounce gold bullion coins to be issued it is worth comparing gold eagles with krugers.
Krugerrands were first issued in 1967, as one ounce bullion coins. From 1980, they were also produced in fractional sizes of half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce. Eagles were introduced in 1986, in all four weights except the quarter ounce which was not introduced until 1987.
On the earlier bullion eagles, from 1986 to 1991, the date is shown in Roman numerals, from 1992 it is in Arabic numerals. We have pictures of the two different types on our Latin Dates on Eagles page.
While krugerrands must be one of the least attractive coins issued, eagles must rank amongst the most beautiful!
Date Conversion
Because not everyone can convert Roman numerals and dates to normal Arabic ones, here is a conversion table:
Roman |
Arabic |
1986 |
1987 |
1888 |
1989 |
1990 |
1991 |
The Eagle Family
Gold Eagles are available in four different sizes and weights, from one ounce to one tenth of an ounce, as detailed below.
Eagle – A New Version of a Traditional Design
Eagles were originally $10 gold coins, double eagles were $20, while half eagles and quarter eagles were $5 and $212 respectively.
When the USA introduced a series of gold bullion coins, it was natural to continue the eagle tradition.
All sizes feature a magnificent portrait of Liberty standing.
The reverse shows an eagle landing in its nest.

Dementia at Republican National Convention: how not to win independent voters ... by gimleteye
12 comments:
Also let it be mentioned that Mr Eastwood is a fine Republican example of the sanctity of marriage, he has 7 children by 5 different women.
- August 31, 2012
- Geniusofdespair said...
Clint was a train wreck. I tuned in briefly to Rubio and he was pontificating about his FAMILY HISTORY YET AGAIN.
- August 31, 2012
Gilmeteye, I absolutely agree with you on the environmental issues you have focused on.
Being a moderate and independent, I really don't have anything left to say about the GOP convention, or at least won't share it here because I'm not going to steer to the far "left" or pretend to! - August 31, 2012
First anon, Clint is a libertarian.
- August 31, 2012
When will grown-ups be welcome back to the Republican camp?
- August 31, 2012
Well 2nd anon he was speaking at the Republican convention. And he's admitted to voting republican presidents going back to Eisenhower and endorsing Nixon, McCain and now Romney.
- August 31, 2012
I thought Clint was the NRA party. Or is that the same as the Republicam Party?
- August 31, 2012
Does anybody think that Romney or Eastwood would keep General McChrystal on hold for five months when he requested more troops in 2009?
That lack of decision making and putting a finger in the wind as well as failing as the Commander in Chief is why we need to get used to saying President Romney on January 21, 2013. The country is currently without leadership, but it is full of blaming anybody and everybody. - August 31, 2012
I thought Client was dead.
but he looked like a zombie last night. - August 31, 2012
2nd to last anon = I agree with you. It's time for a "change" I can
"hope" for! - August 31, 2012
Genius, Re: Rubio...when ur only claim to fame is being born with Cuban parents that is what you talk about... He represents the son that every elderly Cuban wishes for. Handsome, well spoken and important to the media...
- September 01, 2012
...someone should have come and helped Clint comb the back side of his hair .... pobrecito!

NEW YORK-- Facebook s stock is climbing higher, a reprieve for shareholders after the stock s rocky inaugural trading day Friday was followed by a two-day decline.
Facebook Inc. s stock is up $1.03, or 3.3 percent, to $32.03. That s still nearly 16 percent below the initial public offering price of $38. Meanwhile, a group of shareholders have filed a lawsuit against Facebook, its executives and Morgan Stanley, the IPO s lead underwriter. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in New York, claims the company s IPO documents contained untrue statements and omitted important facts, such as a severe reduction in revenue growth that Facebook was experiencing at the time of the offering. The suit s three plaintiffs, who bought Facebook stock on its first day of trading May 18, claim they were damaged in the process.
In a statement, Facebook said the lawsuit is without merit. Morgan Stanley declined to comment.

« Cubs Close the Tribune Era | Home | The Playoffs Will Wait Another Day For Some (Literally) »
Tomorrow's one game playoff between the Tigers and Twins features an interesting pitching match up. Rick Porcello and Scott Baker exist on opposite ends of the fly ball- ground ball spectrum. Porcello who throws a 'sinking' two-seam fastball over 60% of the time and gets grounders on 54% of his balls in play compared to just 29% fly balls. Baker throws a 'rising' four-seam fastball and gets grounders on just 34% of his balls in play to 47% fly balls. That puts Porcello in the top five GB% for starting pitchers and Baker in the bottom five. You can see an explanation for this difference by looking at the frequency distribution of the heights of their fastballs.
Recall there is a tradeoff in ground ball rate and whiff rate for fastballs based on the height of the pitch. Porcello works down in the zone where he gets grounders, but not many whiffs and consequently has one of the lowest strikeout rates in baseball. While Baker works up in the zone, gives up tons of fly balls (a good number of the desirable infield variety), but has an above average strikeout rate.
So tomorrow's game is not only an exciting one-game playoff of utmost importance to both teams, but a nice demonstration of the strikeout/ground ball trade off based on fastball height.
Eventually someone is going to make a frequency stat for this. But visually seeing the graph is helpful.
